Here are the rules for the D-Cannon:

The D-cannon’s hits always wound on a 2+, and on a roll to
wound of a 6, inflicts Instant Death on the victim (regardless of
its toughness value). Against targets with an Armour Value, a
D-Cannon always inflicts a glancing hit on a roll of 3 or 4 and a
penetrating hit on a roll of 5 or 6.

My question is this...if you roll a '6' on the D-Cannon would that then become a separate grouping in the wound pool? The only time that this matters is if there is a character in the unit hit and you want to kill him and not just cause a wound and you roll a '6' out of the wounds caused.

I would say yes. In the same way you group wounds from a rending weapon into rending and non-rending shots.

You create sub groups in the wound pool whenever there is anything different from another wound in the wound pool. If AP, strength, or special rule exists for any wound that is different from any other wound it is grouped separately.

Since Instant Death is a special rule it'd be a separate group in the wound pool
